Every time you film for TikTok, you have to re-record for YouTube. Every time you shoot for Reels, you lose your YouTube footage. ParaFrame ends that cycle for good. One take. Two formats. Zero compromise. ParaFrame captures true 4K portrait and landscape video simultaneously — so you walk away from every shoot with content ready for every platform, every time. Why Creators Love ParaFrame Efficiency — Stop wasting takes. Film once and get both a 9:16 vertical and a 16:9 widescreen version of every single shot, automatically. Full Quality — No cropping. No downscaling. ParaFrame uses advanced camera APIs to record both orientations at full professional resolution. Social Ready — Your portrait footage is perfect for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Your landscape footage is ready for YouTube, Twitch, and widescreen edits. At the same time. Seamless Workflow — Both videos save directly to your Camera Roll. No exports, no waiting, no extra steps. Built for Creators Who Move Fast Whether you're a solo creator, a travel vlogger, or a social media manager running multiple channels, ParaFrame gives you back the hours you've been losing to redundant filming sessions. Film smarter. Post everywhere. Never choose an orientation again. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Pilm is a camera that previews horizontal and vertical at the same time, on one screen — and colors every shot with our own hand-crafted filters, right where you stand. Choose your aspect ratios and capture both in a single take. ■ Shoot Horizontal & Vertical Together Compose with the 16:9 and 9:16 frames side by side. Vertical for Reels, horizontal for YouTube — all at once. A composition that won't get cropped, no matter where you post it. ■ Pick Your Ratios Supports 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, and 1:1. Freely pair one horizontal frame with one vertical or square frame and shoot both together. Save your favorite combination in Settings. ■ Filters We Designed Ourselves Warm tones, cool tones, crisp tones, soft portrait tones, cinematic, and black & white — filters curated for every mood. Some revive the color of real film; others are original looks Pilm designed from scratch. Finished the moment you shoot, no editing app required. ■ Fine-Tune Anytime Swap filters on the spot right after you shoot, and re-open any photo you've already taken to edit it again. Pick a preset or adjust with sliders to land on exactly the color you want. ■ One Color Across Both Ratios Your chosen filter applies identically to both horizontal and vertical, so the tone of both photos and videos flows together naturally. ■ Photos and Video Alike Capture photos and record video with sound too. ■ Fully On-Device Every shot and every edit happens only on your device. No sign-up, no data collected, nothing sent anywhere. Record your everyday moments in the ratios you want and your own color — with Pilm.
